    I've never really been one for gardening but have been cursed / blessed with the world's most fertile soil. I've let the back garden go completely for the last 4 years or so. Kept the lawn trimmed and hacked back weeds here and there but no real effort put in. My lovely next door neighbour helpfully planted mile-a-minute which came over the fence and basically took over my garden. Anyway, this year, my girlfriend decided that we were having the garden back :D so away we went.

    Day 1..........Sawing, hacking,

    Next job is to install some willow screening at the top of the bank and to reglaze the greenhouse after I lost several panes during a storm a couple of years ago. That'll have to be next month when I've been paid as my wallet is screaming for mercy.

    Thanks, mate. I wasn't but I am now. It was a helluva lot of work but it was my own fault for letting it get that bad. All credit to my missus, to be fair. She drove the whole thing forward.

    I'm the same now. Any excuse to be outside and prettying it up........... :D

    My missus did her fair share of the work. It wasn't just me.

    The man cave is the garage. That's been sorted for years :D

    Cheers, Tom. Thanks to my missus really. If it was left to me it'd probably still look like a tip.
